Maybe the dark green, linerless, Native 5 in S90V. Not too many, I resist letting stuff go too much. I have dupes and/or sprints of a lot of the models I like. I wonder why we never saw anything else in CTS-20CP. That's one I don't want to let go of because there is nothing else available with that ...

I like the Rookie. I was messing around with my S the other day, it's pretty nice. I think mine needs some oil. Micarta (or maybe some new material) Caly Jr would be a sweet sprint. I have only ever owned a couple of FRN models. But you know, I probably like the Caly 3 and Caly 3.5 and Calypso bette...

2nd vote for the Jojimbo 2. It is a pretty amazing user. Really a pleasure to use and it fits my hand like a glove. I like the Para 3 lightweight, also. It's almost too light. I can't even think of any other compression lock models that I love. Oh wait, Sage is pretty epic with the laminate carbon f...

That's odd that they are so low stock. It's also odd that not many people have stock on them. Sometimes you find that one place has stock and no one else does. I have one and I saw it sitting on my shelf a week or two ago and I think I forgot I even had it. I have the (non spyderco) aluminum fixed b...

I'll work on that. You can see in my photo that since I'm at an angle, there is a very small amount in focus and there is a lot that is out of focus.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good flashlight with a flat shape? I have a lot of issues with round flashlights for EDC, and vastly prefer something flatter. I am currently carrying an Olight Arkfeld, but the laser feature is totally useless to me. I'd prefer something with a choice of whi...

I got a reverse lensing kit and I don't think I have the patience for macro photography. This is the only shot I took.

I like ESEE. I want a full tang fixed blade and that's what they make.

Happy belated! I'm sure they all (or almost all) had a good day.

Probably the Lionspy.
I like my Manix 2 (is it a Manix 2?) with the back lock, no liners and smooth scales.

Most of the knives I carry are "comfortable enough." Thank you Spyderco for that!

Screw sprint runs in S110V and K390? :D

You're not off base saying S90V is old news to some David, but it's a shame. I love S90V it's one of the better steels out there in my opinion, and still a reason for me to buy a knife I might not otherwise. Both 90 and 110 are amazing, it's incredible that either one is old news. It's definitely p...

I'm not sure if you could "reuse the mold" from that older model with some of the newer parts. I strongly doubt there is a strong enough demand for the cost of making a new mold.

How many years ago was the XHP sprint of this model? I have one, it seemed like it was a very low demand model.

I would think that making it single sided from the factory makes it better for the end user because they can sharpen a V edge onto it or keep it single beveled.

I think the Deacon corrected me in thinking that it was chisel ground because the flat side of the blade isn't perfectly flat.

You got it, man. And did you want your Mini Manix with a black blade and a white thumb stud?

No, no thumb studs allowed on the Spyderco forum. =P

Well the other angles are not showing a reflection on the corner that is up of that face. There is a pretty substantial part of that corner missing and this seemed to be the problem. I'll try some pencil, but usually this trick is for "not well ajusted yet" lock interfaces, now we can say...

That looks like rubbing when the blade is rotating around the pivot. There is minimal wear, where pressure is applied when the lock is engaged. I think people use a pencil when a lock sticks. *edit* This is the face that I believe would cause your lock to stick. This is the only photo you posted of ...

Nice work Mike! The lightweight Manix (CPM S110V) is my most carried knife. I was under the impression that SPY27 was close to CPM S30V, I'll have to go back and do some reading on that. One model that wasn't mentioned was the linerless lockback version. I can see why it isn't in this timeline, it's...

I wouldn't mind one of the linerless lock back Manix in K390, too.

I think the right hand compression lock is a left hand compression lock, depending on how you use the lock. If you press the lock release with your thumb, do you want to reach over the knife to press the release or do you just want to press the release on the side that your thumb is already at. The ...
